Maristar users (question)

I'm looking at the 3x250 HQI w/ t5 fixture (maybe for my next tank). I am wondering how well you guys think it would cover at tank that's 26-30" wide. Tank would be 72"x26-30"x24"tall.

I know that the fixture is only 13.5" wide so I am just curious.

I have a Maristar fixture covering a 24" wide tank currently. It doesn't have any problems lighting up the whole area.

I wouldn't think so, I have very good coverage with my light. My tank is 30"l X 24"w X 17"t and I have the 24" and good light coverage throughout.
